Best Practices

pump up mango sales

Implementing best practices for handling and merchandising can pump up your mango sales. The Mango Handling and Ripening Protocol provides complete guidance and best practices for handling and merchandising mangos at retail.

Don’t refrigerate mangos at the store, not on display and not in the back room. Mangos will get chill damaged below 54 degrees F

Educate shoppers about mangos through POS materials and trained associates in the produce department.

A summer 2015 store display test showed that merchandising mangos adjacent to stone fruit had a 45% net impact on mango volume and dollars, compared to the control panel, in which mangos were displayed in the tropicals set.
